To drain blood from the kidneys into the (inferior) vena cava.
Patent renal veins refer to renal veins that are open and unobstructed, allowing for normal blood flow from the kidneys back to the heart. In contrast, obstructed or thrombosed renal veins can lead to complications such as renal venous thrombosis, which may cause kidney damage or impaired function. Maintaining patency in renal veins is crucial for overall kidney health and effective circulation.
The main function of a renal vein is to carry blood from the kidneys

Widely patent renal veins refer to renal veins that are open and unobstructed, allowing for normal blood flow from the kidneys to the inferior vena cava. This condition is crucial for proper kidney function, as any blockage or narrowing can lead to complications such as renal vein thrombosis. Maintaining widely patent renal veins is essential for adequate drainage of deoxygenated blood from the kidneys, which helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
The main function of the veins is to take blood back to the heart.
interlobar arteries are vessels of the renal circulation which supply the renal lobes: interlobar veins are veins of the renal circulation which drain the renal lobes.
